New Chapters

Join us on a little adventure.

Two years ago, my life changed drastically. I was a city girl living alone with her 3 cats, watching Netflix and eating pizza. One of my best friends was going to be married and I was (of course) invited to her bachelorette party. They were going to have it in "some guy's" field where there wasn't going to be access to a bathroom. This alone made me not want to go. (Pathetic, I know). My friend let me know that the guy was actually pretty good looking "wore a kilt and might be Asian". Okay okay... I will go! 
So, Sept of 2015 I met my baby's daddy.  😅

He was not Asian, and I have only seen him wear a kilt once and that was because I asked him to put it on. lol 

Anyways, that night of the party, we hit it off pretty well. Lots in common, some goals in life that we both wanted and we were both single. Huzzah! Well, I fell instantly for him but it took him longer to think of me more than just a friend. But, it happened and April of 2016 I moved out here and started a new life. 💕

 This man I fell for, JD, was starting an off-grid homestead. He was living in small barn with a loft that they put up at the back of the 20 acre family land. He had made it into his home and one day it was going to be OUR home... just needed some fixing up and some additions done. I was excited. I was going to lose some weight working outside, I was going to help make things happen! Then... I got pregnant! 😄

Wow... that was quick

So, here I was. 36 years old, overweight and pregnant. Such a joy I was! (haha!). My pregnancy was a bit difficult and a lot of things got put on hold.  February of 2017, our son was born and I was finally a mother. Never really thought that I would become mother, especially since I was in my late 30's, but fate had something else planned apparently. I had a classical c-section and my recovery sucked. But, I am all healed now, we have a beautiful 14 month old son and I am still morbidly obese. 

 The work on our home is finally finishing up. Last year the guys got an add-on completed that has our bedroom, hallway and bathroom. Right now they are doing an add-on that has our kitchen, our sons room and a bathhouse. I will make a post in the near future that will have some pictures of the progress. I look forward to when everything is done and we can make it a home. Right now it is still a bit slow-going because it is being done on one income since I quit my job to be a SAHM 4months ago. (I still do not regret my decision though I miss the money. lol) 

But, that is pretty much a "long story short". I could go into more detail on MANY things, but that would be no fun. I will tell stories as I continue to blog. I am new at this, don't know where this will go.. but I hope you join me on this adventure in life. City life to an off-grid homestead, and everything in between.
